Before the Tolerance March which is in fact a gay movement manifestation, inhabitants of Krakow could see such posters put by the Christian Culture Society of P. Skarga.www.piotrskarga.pl/ps,1658,3,0,1,I,informacje.html

The title reads: Homosexual barbarism in Krakow! There are two photos from previous parades in which gay activists aare walking on the Grave of the Unknown Soldier in Krakow and are walking in front of Pope`s house.

Despite the posters, not too many people came to protest against gay parade.

Someone tried to remove the poster. Don`t think it was me! I don`t take active part in such brawls, I am just a neutral observer. hahahahahaha

I didn`t know but I googled for red and blue crossed order. Here it is:en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trinitarian_OrderIn Polish wiki I read their interesting history. They occupied themselves with buying out Christian people from Tartar slavery. When they sometimes ran out of money, they volunteered to the slavery themselves. In 1986 the order was reactivated in Poland. Their modern occupation is "buying" people out of various dependancies like alcohol, drugs.

There are a lot of climbers as Krakow is set on limestone rocks. Not far from the city center men climb rock walls, soon I will show photos.

As for suicidal jumpers, there aren`t so many, Polish society is fairly balanced and collected, but there are depressed people from time to time, yes. In News thread I posted an article about a suicidal woman who wanted to jump off the bridge.

Before Christmas I tidied the basement. Bottles with hermetic caps were used in 1950s, 60s and 70s in Poland to keep bubbles in socialist orangeade. Syfon - a device to produce sparkling water. Very funny. We had used it till mid 70s, when sparkling sodas, e.g, Pepsi, appeared.

Those are beauties! Here are soem other exemplars - the first bottle on the left is Polish made, in Warsaw, around 1930. Syfon is Polish made around 1960. The bottle on the right was made for Haselbach brewery, branch in Swiebodzice (Freiburg in Schlesien) most probably shortly prior to 1939.
